So what makes it worth the significant cost over, say, Corian or similar products? Or even a plainer granite?

As far as I can tell, quartz is just the latest countertop fad. It may be "harder" than whatever, but for all practical purposes, it doesn't deliver a more functional product than even a standard laminate.  [/quote]

It is far more durable than formica, wood or Corian.  Corian and burns easily and is software and will gouge from metal.  If you get stains or gouges in your Corian, you have to get a sander or buffer to buff them out and wear down your surface.

It is less durable than granite, but granite is now passe.  I prefer granite because it is so much easier to maintain and keep clean.  Granite it virtually indestructible.[/quote]

But how often do people really get stains or scratches or burn marks in Corian? People say quartz is so strong but you'd have to go way out of your way to abuse a Corian to damage it. Same with laminate. Sure, it's possible but worth spending double to triple? Probably not. Unless the money isn't an issue then go for it. [/quote]
